Updating the rmware
Step 1: Determine your rmware version number
1. Power on the PC and FlexJet.
2. Ensure that the
serial cable connects the PC to the FlexJet.
3. Make sure there is a Green light on the keypad of the FlexJet
and open the Control Center.
4. The main screen shows the current rmware version in the up-
per right corner.
5. If the rmware version is not shown, please check connections
to the printer. Call Ioline Customer Service for help resolving
communication issues.
Step 2: Manually set the initial Y Fine adjustment number
1. Turn on the FlexJet and let it initialize.
2. Open the Control Center software.
3. When the window opens press Ctrl-Alt-B. You should see the
Service Station window.
4. Click the Move carriage out from SS button. The carriage will
move out of the Service Station.
5. Change the Y Fine adjust number to -1000 and click the Set
ne adjust button.
6. Click on the Return carriage to SS button. The carriage will
move back into the Service Station.
Step 3: Auto updating rmware version 253.2 or higher
1. Make sure the rmware le has been saved in the Ioline folder.
Choose File>Download Firmware from the menu.
2. Press the Select Firmware button.
3. Follow the on-screen directions that explain how to restart the
printer so that it will accept new rmware. Press OK when the
printer is ready (four yellow lights on the keypad).
4. Use the window to browse to the location where the rmware
le is stored (usually xxxxx.mot, where xxxxx is the version
number).
5. A window will appear that shows the transfer progress.
6. The printer will go through the initialization process when the
rmware is nished. When nished, the OK light will turn red
and the Square light will turn green.
7. Press the Done button when the process is complete.
8. Follow steps for Y Fine Adjustment for the Service Station
under the Service Station Procedures section of this chapter.
